Auto Tip

Many manufacturing processes require product in sacks to be discharged at the infeed point. Powder products have their own set of handling problems, dust containment being high on the list. The COSHH Regulations require employers/business owners to provide a dust-free environment for their process operators to work in. The handling of powders, flakes, pellets etc can be one of the most time consuming, labour intensive and hazardous processes in industry. Thousands of people are affected each year resulting in illnesses as serious as lung disease and cancer. It is important that efficient solutions are made available to combat suffering and also the high economic costs relating to occupational ill health.
